librarian Raya Ravell-Valtonen who had previously been a singer with the Harmony Sisters trio. The names will mean more for those who can see the photos and listen to the recordings on Ingemar's website. All promotional material from the Soundscapes archive www.soundscapes.info I did enjoy finding out more about Radio Nord, thanks to the Radio Nord Rvival broadcasts and Ingemar's website. A pirate but not as I expected it to be. I'm very grateful to Ingemar Lindqvist not only for the information on his website but also for answering my e-mail queries, checking my article and providing more interesting comments on Radio Nord. Next time I'll look at the other Scandinavian pirates. Phil Champion.’ Well Phil thanks a lot for sharing your views as well facts with my readers, it’s much appreciated and anyone can reflect as always at: hknot@home.nl Andy Cardier aka Martin Kayne wrote about his memories where radio was involved: ‘I heard Radio Caroline when it first started in 1964 while I was on UK leave from the RAF in Cyprus. At that time Caroline was not exactly a pop station, but it was a considerable and exciting change from the BBC Light Programme. In a way I was into
music and had microphones and tape recorders as a part of my hobby, I had helped make some fund raising recordings for the forces radio's Wireless For The Blind appeal, but little else. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever dreamed I would set foot on any pirate radio ship, let alone the MV Caroline. By 1965 I was back in Britain, well Uxbridge to be precise, and could easily hear all the southern offshore stations, over in my home town of Folkestone they were even louder still, with Radio London by this time dominating my listening pleasure. Much to my mother's dismay, my father had died when I was 9 years old, I decided to apply to purchase my discharge from the RAF and do something different. I left the Air Force in October 1965 clearly wondering if I had really made the worst decision of my life, no sympathy would have been forthcoming from my family who clearly thought I was completely nuts. The Employment Exchange (job centre) was an experience in itself, but I found myself working as a chef in a local hotel while helping my mother to renovate a newly purchased property. It was just a matter of days when I heard test broadcasts from a station called Radio Essex on 222 metres.
